when governor romney stood on a stage with other republican candidates for the nomination, and he was asked, "would you take $10 of spending cuts for just $1 of revenue?" and he said no. now, if you take such an unbalanced approach, then that means you are going to be gutting our investments in schools and education. it means that governor romney talked about medicaid and how we could send it back to the states but effectively this means a 30% cut in the primary program we have for seniors in nursing homes, kids with disabilities. >> lehrer: mr. president, i'm sorry. >> and that is not a right strategy for us to move forward. >> lehrer: way over the two minutes. >> sorry. >> lehrer: governor, what about simpson-bowles, will you support that? >> the president should have grabbed that. >> lehrer: do you support simpson-bowles? >> i have my own plan. it's not the same. in my view, the president should have grabbed it, if he wanted to make adjustments, take it, go to think and fight for it. that's what we've done. we're putting it before congress right now. >> you've within president four
